To celebrate the 92nd birth anniversary of ace Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray, Google India had doodled in a memorable scene from Ray's best known 1955 film, Pather Panchali (the "Story of the Road")--that of the brother and sister duo of Apu and Durga running across the rural landscape to catch a glimpse of the train that crossed through their village.
The train was a magical sight to the siblings, who couldn't eat two meals a day, so acute was the poverty in which the family, and in a rural Bengal depicted in the film, lived.
Below is a scene of Durga and Apu from Pather Panchali.
